It's been awhile but I'll try to help. I'm learning VI so be kind!
The main thing is to move clockwise, not stepping of the path. Upon
entering the Monastery move clockwise to the right hand door, enter
and speak to the alian in the room; he will ask for a drink. Exit the
room and move clockwise to the left hand room. You will find a golden
chalis. Take the cup and exit room. Move clockwise to the top door. Enter
the wine vault anduse the chalis on a wine barrel. The cup will fill. Exit
and move clockwise to the right hand door again, enter and give cup to the
alian. He will drop, dead drunk. Now explore room and take all you find, 
especially the control. Exit room, move clockwise back to top room. Enter
and use control on top middle barrel. A door will open. Enter the barrel.

Thats it! Another hint. Sometimes you have to try twice to get something
to work.

BTW: I'm stuck further on in the game. I've entered a ship affter blasting
20-30 alians. I can't get any further. Any hints? I can enter and exit the
ship via a ramp, but thats it.

Okay, when you are in the ship control room, 1) use the magnetic card on the
keypad by the door; 2) open the glass case by operating it, and take the
garments; 3) use the garments on the video monitor camera; 4) get into the
glass case by moving right up to it and standing. Then the ship will take off
and will fly to the alien mothership, where more frustration awaits.
